    I was shocked to find out my new to me 09 WR125 only holds 1.5 gallons. WTF? Isn't the 310 like 2.4? I wonder if it will fit the 125 frame as they seem very similar. Was hoping to score a cheap tank off a X-light instead of going IMS. Will that work? I know I will need to strip out all the EFi crap. Anyone got a tank sitting around they would let me try?

    thanks

    THere is a really good chance it would work. My IMS tank for my '12 WR 125 has the pattern for the fuel pump hardware cutouts molded in the plastic. I bet the only difference is they don't cut the openings or mold in the nutserts. I already sold my OEM tank, sorry!

    Did the stock tank get bigger later on? I thought a bigger tank was the whole point of a WR

    You just need a takoff off a later WR I can not remember the specs but I thought it was around 2.4 while my IMS is 3.0 I rode with that silly 1.5 gall tank till they came out with and aftermarket. I did not like having to hit every optional along with duct taping a 32 ounce Gatorade bottle to my front fender! You also can order the stock larger WR tank from Hall's or Bills I think that's what I did back in the day and then went to IMS. Seat seems to fit a tish funny but works fine.

    I had an 09 with an IMS. Dont want to sink money into this bike but want more fuel so looking to get 2.4 or so out of a X-light tank that someone is not doing anything with.

    Yep it should work fine, my IMS tank from my 125 fit my 2010 TC250 just fine.

    Also I have a CR125 tank from my 2013, you are welcome to see if that is any bigger...

    Later,
